Hint: Your brushes need deep-cleaning more often than you think.
So, you didn't realize you were supposed to be regularly scrubbing your hair tools. Oops! The brush still technically works...right?
If you're wondering how bad it could really be if you chose to continue using a semi-dirty hairbrush, Dr. Penzi has some insight that might make you change your mind. "If you use your dirty brush after cleaning your hair in the shower, you're essentially canceling out that session as the oils and potential pathogens will be transferred back to your hair and scalp," she explained.
And if that wasn't bad enough, it turns out that brushes that haven't been cleaned could lead to infections and scalp conditions. Three potential issues you might be at risk for are seborrheic dermatitis, which causes scaly patches and dandruff, tinea capitis, which is also called ringworm of the scalp, and folliculitis, which is the inflammation of skin follicles that might look like pimples on your scalp.
"If you properly care for your brushes, do not burn the bristles, and don't use too much pressure that damages said bristles, you can keep your brushes for years and years," affirms Dueñas. That being said, some instances when you'll want to part ways with your favorite hair brush include missing prongs, a cracked brush pad, or fraying bristles that shed and get in the way of your brush doing its job. Plus, prickly bristles have damage your hair.
Currently in the market for a new brush? Here are some of the cutest and most customer-loved hairbrushes for all hair types out there.

How to Be an Ally to Colleagues After Violence Against Their CommunityHow can you support a colleague after a mega-threat — a highly publicized, harmful, and often violent event outside of work that often targets historically marginalized groups? It can be difficult to know what — if anything — to say; in fact, employees often perceive these conversations as difficult, sensitive, and high-risk. But silence can be riskier, conveying that the threatened aspect of someone’s identity is not valued or important in the workplace. To help guide people who want to speak up but aren’t sure how, research suggests using three pillars of allyship — self-education, social support, and advocacy — to recognize a coworker and offer support.
